Adorable card Christine! I LOVE This PB set and have used one of the other stamps for my reminder card. :) The trick is to figure out which dog-loving friend to send it to. :) xx

That adorable pup reminds me of Will the way you've coloured him! And Will would have been just as snoopy poking his nose into the presents! Love the addition of the little bird and the sequins!

This is so cute! I love the watercoloring. I tried watercoloring a little yesterday, but was not happy with the results...I'll try again another day!

Any card with a dog grabs my heart and this is so cute. I love him checking to see if any of those gifts are for him. Such pretty red boots to hold the gifts.
